Mini-Review
In Mel Gibson’s first starring role since 2002’s Signs, he takes on his usual persona of a wronged man seeking vengeance. In this particular movie, his daughter is gunned down on his front porch in what appears to be a hit meant for him. The audience knows better. As Boston detective Thomas Craven, Gibson begins to uncover a plot involving the government and weapons manufacturing. But where does the conspiracy end? He meets Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), a mysterious Englishman who claims he’s usually the person that stops other people from “connecting A to B.” What’s his job, and as Craven astutely asks: whose side is he on? We don’t know the full story until the film’s end, and it’s not much more than we could have imagined. All together, Edge of Darkness is a stylish thriller with nothing new to say.
I disagree with your rating sir.
